Pigmentation

PIGMENTATION

Pigmented lesions such as sun spots and freckles can be successfully removed creating a more flawless, youthful and glowing appearance.

How does the treatment work?

Light is released in short pulses that are readily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found within pigmented lesions. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and causes the destruction of the melanin-rich cells.

How is the treatment carried out?

The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. With Q-Switched Laser treatments due to the power of the Laser energy delivered into the skin, a small amount of pinpoint bleeding may occur during the treatment, and a dressing may be applied after the treatment to protect the skin while it heals. During treatment protective eye wear will be provided.

Am I suitable for treatment?

Most people are suitable for treatment except for very dark skinned or tanned individuals. However, large, dark, mottled or raised pigmentation cannot be treated and may need to be checked by a dermatologist. Large, dark moles should not be treated, nor should lesions covering a large part of the body. The pigmented marks that respond the best are superficial lesions such as those caused by sun damage (sun spots) and freckles.

How does the treatment feel?

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable and no anaesthesia is required.

What should I expect after the treatment?

The treated area may feel warm and sensitive for the fi rst few days post treatment. The lesions may darken and may appear more obvious before they fade and ‘flake’ away. Sometimes an initial whitening of the area is seen which quickly fades and the pigment gradually fades over the following few weeks.

Are there any side effects?

The skin that surrounds the pigmented lesion may become red immediately after treatment. Most people experience no other side eff ects and the redness usually disappears within hours to a few days. Very rarely a small blister may form or the skin may become temporarily lighter or darker.

How long does each treatment take?

The length of each treatment will depend on the type and size of lesion present, but a typical session will take 10 to 30 minutes.

How many treatments are necessary?

The number of treatments will depend on the type and size of the pigmented lesion but typically 1 to 3 sessions are required at 4 to 6 week intervals.

Consultation procedure

Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.

The whole experience with PMA medical has been great so far. My consultation in June with Jen was absolutely amazing. She answered all of my questions (including the ridiculous ones) and talked through the various treatments for my skin that would help me take care of it. Deciding to do a chemical peel was a bit scary for me! I’ve never had a great skin care routine and hearing the words ‘chemical peel’ totally freaked me out. From start to finish when I went in for my Obagi chemical peel, Megan made me feel so comfortable. She explained each step with me, and when asked for more detail, she took the time to help me understand. My face felt absolutely great afterwards! Megan also convinced me to start using SPF and I haven’t not used skin protection since! Going from never having a skin care routine, to feeling confident about my skin and having a routine that fits in my forgetful lifestyle, Megan and Jen are absolute skin savers. Can’t wait for my next one!

Megan is brilliant at what she does! Always makes me feel at ease with the laser therapy and has made a potentially scary procedure seem completely doable. Highly recommend for trans and queer folk too.
